See, for example, the history on git-rename-script for why this is good.
Why do you think it is a good example? What happens when next
time somebody rewrites it in C?
We'll call the C version "rename.c", and the program gets to be called
"git-rename", and "git rename" continues to work perfectly fine, so users
won't be affected in the least.
And "grep ... *.c" and "grep ... *-script" also still work right.
That sounds like a good outcome to me.
